Pontiac had the home field advantage but was able to call its baseball win Thursday a road victory.

The Indians came back from a three-run deficit to garner an 11-4 Corn Belt Conference decision over Prairie Central Thursday at Williamson Field. The game was originally scheduled to be played in Fairbury but moved due to field conditions. The Hawks were still the home team in the contest.

Prairie Central touched Tribe starter Jon Roberts for two runs in the first inning and two more in the third in taking a 4-1 lead. The big hit for the Hawks was a home run off the bat of Devin Crews, the only safety off Roberts in three innings.

Jacob Curry came on and shut the Hawks down over the final four frames for the win. Curry struck out six and walked four. Roberts walked four and fanned five.

Darren Raby took the loss for Prairie Central. He got tagged in the top of the fourth when the Indians pushed across four runs to take a 5-4 lead. PTHS got another run off Raby in the fifth before the PC right-hander was lifted.

Crews pitched 2 2-3 innings and Dan Schlatter struck out the only batter he faced. Raby yielded seven base hits and two walks while striking out one. He also hit a batter. Crews fanned four and walked six.

Pontiac padded its lead with a run in the sixth before putting the game away with a four-run seventh.

Aaron Jiles hit his first home run of the season for the Indians. Seth Cunningham had a double, single and two runs batted in while Curry and Neil Lambert each had two hits. Roberts had a single and two RBIs and Trent Smith, Dallas Burns and Kye Comincioli each singled.

Crews had two hits and Josh McWilliams had one to lead Prairie Central’s offense.
